KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/17/2009 10:26 pm Here's a recent find, which looks very similar to Numismat's 1861/57 overdate. When studying overdates, I'll take shots from several different lighting angles to pick out the underlying details. Does anyone notice anything different to the other 1861/57? (second photo) For starters, how about the spacing of the digits 61? Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 9:04 pm Yes, I would agree...and this coin is far more worn than yours. To show the difference, I did an overlay of the date on both coins. By scaling the 186 of the date to closely match the underlying coin, there's a clear difference in the distances between 61 in the date, as shown by the white and black arrows. Since my coin has noticeably closer spacing, I can only guess it's a different die. Report this Post to the Staff
